[SET COMMENTS]
Rhyhorn's Electric-type immunity coupled with its offensive variant being OHKOed by Hidden Power Grass make it a great option for luring Elekid. STAB Earthquake coupled with Rhyhorn's stellar Attack allows it to threaten any Pokemon that lacks resistance to Ground-type moves. Rock Slide allows Rhyhorn to threaten Flying-types such as Pidgeotto, Taillow, Delibird, and Butterfree. Counter is a viable option over Rock Slide as it provides Rhyhorn with an option to remove Koffing thanks to its use of Hidden Power Grass. Megahorn provides Rhyhorn with coverage against Grass-types such as Bayleef, Lileep, and Exeggcute. Protect allows Rhyhorn to net more recovery from Leftovers while also scouting against Choice Band users. Rhyhorn's bulk investment allows it to avoid being OHKOed by Elekid's Hidden Power Grass from full health while also avoiding the 2HKO by Fighting-type coverage from Pidgeotto, Taillow, and non-Choice Band Aipom. 124 Speed EVs allow Rhyhorn to outspeed Exeggcute.

Rhyhorn finds the most success on offensive and balanced teams that require a secondary Elekid check or an offensive Flying-type check. Physical wall breakers such as Aipom, Pidgeotto, and Taillow and Water-types like Staryu and Seaking all appreciate Rhyhorn's effectiveness at removing Elekid. Rhyhorn must be in pristine health to check Elekid so other Pokemon that resist Normal-types such as Nosepass, Magnemite, and Lileep all pair well with it. Special walls like Dustox, Sunflora, and Delcatty can help check special attackers that threaten Rhyhorn such as Staryu, Seaking, and Chinchou. Delcatty is worth mentioning as it can provide Rhyhorn with Wish and Heal Bell support making it more effective in the long term. Rhyhorn appreciates Rapid Spin support from Pineco and Strayu or an anti-Spikes lead like Cyndaquil or Butterfree in order to maintain its HP for Elekid. If Rhyhorn is using Rock Slide then special attackers, such as Chinchou, Elekid, and Growlithe can all threaten Koffing. If Rhyhorn is using Counter then Pokemon that appreciate Koffing's removal such as Cubone, Grimer, and Aipom pair well with it.

Rhyhorn's Electric-type immunity coupled with its weakness to Grass-types makes it a great option for luring Elekid. STAB Earthquake coupled with Rhyhorn's stellar Attack allows it to threaten any Pokemon that lacks resistance to Ground-type moves. Rock Slide allows Rhyhorn to threaten Flying-types such as Pidgeotto, Taillow, Delibird, and Butterfree. Megahorn provides Rhyhorn with coverage against Grass-types such as Bayleef, Lileep, and Exeggcute. Protect allows Rhyhorn to net more recovery from Leftovers while also scouting against Choice Band users. Rhyhorn's bulk investment allows it to be 2HKOed avoid being OHKOed by Elekid's Hidden Power Grass from full health. It also allows Rhyhorn to avoid being while also avoiding the 2HKOed by Fighting-type coverage from Pidgeotto, Taillow, and non-Choice Band Aipom. While the original wording wasn't incorrect, it should be clearer that the bulk of this set is to avoid the OHKO from Elekid's HP Grass, as that's this set's primary goal. The EV spread should be mentioned in no more than 1 sentence, so I combined the sentences and reworded them accordingly. Additionally, mention why Rhyhorn has 124 Speed EVs.

Mention Rapid Spin support, as Spikes prevent Rhyhorn from checking Elekid at all. Also mention how special wallbreakers remove its one switchin, Koffing.

Rhyhorn's Electric-type immunity coupled with its weakness to Grass-types makes it a great option for luring Elekid. STAB Earthquake coupled with Rhyhorn's stellar Attack allows it to threaten any Pokemon that lacks resistance to Ground-type moves. Rock Slide allows Rhyhorn to threaten Flying-types such as Pidgeotto, Taillow, Delibird, and Butterfree. Mention Counter's utility against primarily Koffing and why Rock Slide is dropped. Other Counter uses include vs Lileep or Pidgeotto/Taillow clicking HP coverage Megahorn provides Rhyhorn with coverage against Grass-types such as Bayleef, Lileep, and Exeggcute. Protect allows Rhyhorn to net more recovery from Leftovers while also scouting against Choice Band users.

Mention teammates that appreciate Rhyhorn luring Koffing via Counter, such as Grimer, Cubone, and Bayleef. Grimer and Cubone appreciate opening their avenue to better sweep or break respectively.

Rhyhorn's Electric-type immunity coupled with its offensive variant being OHKOed by Elekid's Hidden Power Grass make it specially defensive Rhyhorn a great option for luring Elekid it. Since the sentence is about luring Elekid, it's better to make it clear that Elekid is the focus earlier in the sentence than the very last word. STAB Earthquake coupled with Rhyhorn's stellar Attack allows it to threaten any Pokemon that lacks resistance to Ground-type moves. Rock Slide allows Rhyhorn to threaten Flying-types such as Pidgeotto, Taillow, Delibird, and Butterfree. Counter is a viable option over Rock Slide as it provides Rhyhorn with an option to remove Koffing thanks to its use of Hidden Power Grass. Megahorn provides Rhyhorn with coverage against Grass-types such as Bayleef, Lileep, and Exeggcute. Protect allows Rhyhorn to net more recovery from Leftovers while also scouting against Choice Band users. Rhyhorn's bulk investment allows it to avoid being OHKOed by Elekid's Hidden Power Grass from full health while also avoiding the 2HKOs by Fighting-type coverage from Pidgeotto, Taillow, and non-Choice Band Aipom. 124 Speed EVs allow Rhyhorn to outspeed Exeggcute. Outspeed Exeggcute at what investment? Max Timid? Standard Smogdex analysis investment? People who want to use this set should be able to know if Exeggcute can possibly Speed creep them.

Rhyhorn finds the most success on offensive and balanced teams that require a secondary Elekid check or an offensive Flying-type check. Physical wallbreakers such as Aipom, Pidgeotto, and Taillow and Water-types like Staryu and Seaking all appreciate Rhyhorn's effectiveness at removing Elekid. Removed the space in "wallbreakers" Rhyhorn must be in pristine health to check Elekid so other Pokemon that resist Normal-types such as Nosepass, Magnemite, and Lileep all pair well with it. Special walls like Dustox, Sunflora, and Delcatty can help check special attackers that threaten Rhyhorn such as Staryu, Seaking, and Chinchou. Delcatty is especially useful worth mentioning as it can provide Rhyhorn with Wish and Heal Bell support making it more effective in the long term to increase its longevity. Subjective, but I don't think it you should say it's worth mentioning when you've already mentioned it in the previous sentence. It should be worded like this since you're giving it extra attention to list additional useful traits it has. As for the end of the sentence, that is also subjective, but I think the chage gets your point across more effectively. Rhyhorn appreciates Rapid Spin support from Pineco and Strayu Staryu, (AC) or an anti-Spikes lead like Cyndaquil or Butterfree in order to maintain its HP for Elekid. If Rhyhorn is using Rock Slide then special attackers, such as Chinchou, Elekid, and Growlithe can all threaten Koffing. If Rhyhorn is using Counter then Pokemon that appreciate Koffing's removal such as Cubone, Grimer, and Aipom pair well with it.

You've given me by far the easiest amcheck I've had yet, thank you. Though I will say that if you and Gangsta Spongebob are splitting sets for the same Pokemon, I ask that you eventually put them all on the same page once they're done so people can find all of a Pokemon's sets on one page.
